La Cure de Rièzes – Maison de Charme, sustainable luxury in the boot of Hainaut
Step inside La Cure de Rièzes , where time stands still for a moment and the good life begins. Situated in the shadow of the church tower of Saint-Gorgon, you will find this characterful presbytery from around 1850.
This was once the house of the village priest, the beating heart of Rièzes. After years of vacancy and silence, a fully renovated, self-sufficient holiday home is now hidden within.
Rièzes is your ideal base for exploring the impressive Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park (ESAM). The region invites you to endless explorations through vast deciduous forests and along babbling rivers.
But the region appeals not only to the hiker; culture lovers and gourmets feel right at home here as well. The princely town of Chimay lies just a stone's throw away. Wander through the historic alleys and visit the centuries-old castle. And, of course, no stay is complete without tasting the soul of the region: the Chimay Trappist beer and the accompanying cheese, crafted with expertise at the nearby Abbey of Scourmont.
Whether you come for the beautiful nature, the local Trappist beer, or simply to unwind in a house with a soul: You are most welcome.
La Cure de Rièzes: Where history and charm embrace.
